Review:

This is notable for its small sprites in a small play area, with a third of the screen devoted to the score and lives. It makes for some smooth movement.

One downside is that it is a tough nut with lots of pixel perfect jumps that rely on your character actually starting out standing almost on thin air. As it resets to the start of the level when you die, this can be extremely frustrating.
